Answers from Our Columbus Personal Injury Attorneys

A single accident can change your life in an instant. At

an accident. We are here to guide you through the process, answer all
your questions, and fight hard for you so that you do not have to worry
about the legal matters.

Is there a deadline after the accident that I need to file my case by?

In most cases, there is a statute of limitations governing how much time
can pass before a plaintiff can no longer file a
personal injury case. With different types of accidents, the statute of limitations changes.
It can range from several months to several years. If you aren't sure
how much time you have to file a claim, contact us today to learn the
specific rules for your case.

How much does it cost to hire your firm?

We operate on a contingency fee basis. What does this mean? We don't
charge any fees upfront and only require payment if we are successful
in winning compensation on your behalf. This means that you pay nothing
out of pocket, with our legal fees coming out of the settlement or verdict.
As well, the initial consultation to review your case is free. There is
no risk in contacting us to learn what we can do for you!

What are the differences between a civil and criminal court?

There are many differences between civil and criminal court. When a case
is in criminal court, the defendant faces prison times, but in a civil
case, the penalties are monetary. Most importantly, however, is the level
of evidence and argument required to secure a legal ruling. While criminal
cases require a prosecutor to prove guilt beyond reasonable doubt, a civil
case plaintiff needs only to establish a preponderance of evidence.
